What drew me first was “Diversity”. Hesitant to click on was “White Privilege”. What surprised me most was how people have a different explanation and definition of the word diversity. What confirmed an expectation was how people limit it to one thing like for example, “race”. What was new? Was that the one person determined diversity just on looks. What caused strong feelings was how they felt like the workplace was not equal. What further questions were raised was how they feel certain people don’t belong , and want to be with people only like them. My pull for action is to maintain my family and home, with an open mind about diversity.
Personal reflection in journalism’s role is to cover events but to probe more deeply. They wanted to examine words and phrases that people of all different diverse backgrounds use differently. As a newsroom, they wanted to be able to understand events better, so they can limit misunderstandings for stories in their newsroom. The role of personal reflection can also mean that your responses are different from someone else’s. Your opinion and beliefs, empathy, experiences and contrasts play a key role in personal reflection in journalism. The article, ” Media must do better with race reporting.” about the times changing, came to mind.
